Question

Kala will rent a car for the weekend. She can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $47.98 and costs an additional $0.14 per mile driven. The second plan has an initial fee of $51.98 and costs an additional $0.12 per mile driven. How many miles would Kala need to drive for the two plans to cost the same?

Answer 1

200 miles she needs to drive

Answer 2

200 Miles

Explanation:

Solving:

47.98+.14x=51.98+.12x

.14x=4+.12x

.02x=4

x=200

Checking:

47.98+.14(200)

75.98

51.98+.12(200)

75.98
